1. Hi loveI want to start by saying thank you.Thank for speaking up because most writers don’t talk about this part.Sometimes I stare at the page and wonder if ive been lying to myself because everyone else seems to have these words that I don’t.

So please don't trust the voice telling you to quit today. It's usually loudest when you're tired and discouraged.

Give yourself time and remember. The page will still be there tomorrow!

Muah🧜🏾‍♀️

2. I've realized that wanting to write,even when you doubt yourself, is part of being a writer.

The truth is that most writers spend a lot of time feeling exactly like this. We compare ourselves to everyone else and convince ourselves we're not good enough.

Let me tell you something.

Your words made me stop and feel something. And that my love is what writing is supposed to do.

Its art (in different forms) just because yours comes out different doesn’t make it any less art
